Chris credits his love of music for bringing his art to where it is today. As his interest in music deepened over the last five years or so, so did Chriss commitment to forcing himself to broaden his imagination, creativity and technical skill. The effort put forth by some of Chriss favorite bands stood as an example for him with his art. While he has painted and exhibited his figurative art extensively in oil, most of his current work is watercolor and ink on boardalmost exclusively for metal bands throughout the world.
